@RhymerEducator @noname Bruh you probably should be

Centrists have literally lost three elections to Collins and Mills was underwater in polling against her.

Maybe they should have the tiniest bit of humility when voters want to try something different.

I genuinely fear for Zohran Mamdani life. He is peeling back the curtain more every day and the powers that be, historically, don’t like that very much. Protect him at all costs, he’s going to change American politics forever.

Fun fact: The underlying purpose of Al is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.

The fact that Graham Platner was moved by Michael Brooks, mourning his death in 2020, is enough to know he'd be a better politician than 99% of people in congress. And up against Republican Susan Collins.. what is there even a debate about.

Oh look at me I’m New York City. I have a cool socialist mayor. My basketball team has perfect vibes and is up 2-0 in the finals. I have the best food and the coolest clubs. I’m the center of the world. Fuck you

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

The Atlantic is comparing Platner to a literal pedophile

[Jedi @dhe3g]

No matter how much time passes, I think getting one-shot by a white Mormon kid while blaming gun violence on black people will forever be the worst debate loss. It will never get worse than that. Ever.

How it feels to not be in New York City right now

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

John Fetterman seems to genuinely think that the reason no one likes him is because he refuses to wear a suit.

It's not the hoodie, dude. It's because you've become a stooge for AIPAC and the Republican party.

[Ken Klippenstein @kenklippenstein]

Maine voter asked about Platner: "If we want folks that are representing us from the working class, they're not necessarily going to have a groomed and perfect political record"

[Anthony Emerson❤️🌲🦞🇾🇪🌹 @AnthonyMEmerson]

This is a bigger scandal than anything that’s been reported about Graham Platner btw

[Joe @JoePostingg]

I do think all the moderates who had hair on fire hysterical freakouts about squeaky clean Mamdani kind of blew their credibility

[Janice Hough @leftcoastbabe]

Hey media

Not a Platner fan, but why is he a nonstop story and not Ken Paxton's TWENTY indictments by a GOP led-Texas legislature, securities fraud charges and his wife's filing for divorce on "biblical grounds?"

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

Susan Collins is spineless and corrupt.

And in 151 days, we will defeat her.

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

I will never vote for a single one of Trump's federal judge nominees.

[Claire Valdez @claireforny]

Yes, that's correct.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Powerful piece, highly recommend reading. Democrats need people like Platner if they are going to come to terms with the true nature of our country, with what we have done to people at home and abroad, and pull together the coalition needed to heal and reshape it.

“A tiny minority of Americans (6%) ever serve in the military. Of these, only 40% of veterans have ever deployed to a combat zone. And of those deployed, only about 10% participated in actual ground combat. I am one of those, and so is Platner. His pathology: a combination of traumatic stress, substance abuse, impulsive decision-making in the past, and deep anger at the moral injury he sustained wearing the cloth of this nation, is something this country ought to consider when it sends its young men and women to war. The question before Maine is not whether Graham Platner is perfect. The question is whether the United States Senate, the state of Maine, and the country as a whole would benefit from having his voice in the room when decisions are made. The answer is yes…”

“A democracy that insists on perfection will eventually find itself represented only by people skilled at hiding their flaws.”
